Political Storm in Greece Over Mitsotakis' Statement on Venezuela

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' statement regarding developments in Venezuela has sparked a fierce political controversy in Greece. Mr. Mitsotakis described the developments as “a new hope for the country,” drawing criticism from the Opposition, which argues that this stance accepts a violation of international law and could have negative consequences for Greece. PASOK, SYRIZA, and the KKE accused the Prime Minister of hypocrisy, an unthinkable position, and support for US interests, emphasizing the importance of respecting international law and the self-determination of peoples. The KKE even compared the statement to those of Trump, highlighting the danger of military intervention.
